My husband, Larry and I have been married for 38 years. We have 3 wonderful children & 3 beautiful grandchildren. I am addicted to roaming around in cemeteries and working on mine and my husbands family trees! I find cemeteries to be peaceful and full of history, so it didn't take me long to get hooked. I was bitten by the genealogy bug about 15 years ago and visiting cemeteries has been a huge part of finding our families roots. Larry has been a great sport about going with me even though he would MUCH rather be golfing!!!

"It is indeed a desirable thing to be well descended, but the glory belongs to our ancestors."

Heinrich could have "Americanized" his name to Henry or Herman after he immigrated to the United States. There are Calvary cemetery memorials with the name Henry and Herman Maurer on the site who may be descendants or were named in honor of Heinrich.

I visited Calvary cemetery today to look for the graves of Aman and Barbara Maurer in Block A, lot 7.

There are three markers in the lot. The center one looks like it has the name Aman Maurer. The dates are not legible. A photo of the marker is uploaded to his memorial.

The marker to the right of Aman is not legible. It may be Barbara's headstone. The cemetery office probably does not have records of who is interred in the plot next to Aman since records prior to about 1909 were destroyed in a fire.

The one to the left of Aman looks like it has the name Heinrich Maurer. It looks like the names Amand and Barbara are below the name. The dates are not legible. I don't believe this is a child of Aman and Barbara since the 1900 census says 8 of 8 Barbara's children were living. Aman and Barbara's obits lists the names of eight living children none were named Heinrich. He could be the father or brother of Aman although I don't know why both Amand and Barbara would also be on the marker. I created a memorial for Heinrich and uploaded photos.
